The Fed *JUST* FLIPPED AGAIN
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Wow first things first with jpow no
papers no iPad this time a teleprompter
to read off his script he's changing
things up a little bit but he's also
changing some things up with his wording
and this is a big deal the first thing
he says he has his eye on 8% mortgage
rates housing was something he really
hit on multiple times here housing
flattened out at the moment now his
quote Mind's Eye goes to the near 8%
mortgage rates and quote we're getting
reports the effects of this High
mortgage rates on housing quote could be
quite significant that is a big warning
flag for the housing market and it's one
that uh my startup which has a fund
raise ending today we are ready to take
advantage of we're kind of excited about
that bring more housing in the market
but learn about that at house.com read
the offering circular the uh fund raise
actually closes tonight at 11:59 p.m. so
learn about that tonight or at house
act.com but anyway talking about jpow he
vacillated a few times by saying
interest rates right now are restrictive
but we're trying to get confident that
we are sufficiently restrictive enough
he suggested once that he was committed
to achieving sufficiently restrictive
rates it was sort of confusing because
he's saying rates are restrictive so are
they sufficiently restrictive I think
he's purposefully trying to be a little
vacillating in in his wording here or
vacillating in his wording because he
doesn't know that's the thing he even
went as far as suggesting the summary of
economic projections we get to the FED
meetings are good for like the day they
write them and then you throw them away
the dot plump basically has been wrong
every single time they've written it
every single projection they've given
has been wrong uh pretty much so who
cares about the projections the point is
what is the snapshot for today the
snapshot for today sounds pretty well
like JP was comfortable keeping rates
here and just watching the progress
we're making on inflation and jobs
continue seeing more of that Supply
chains uh supply chain normalization
lead to disinflation what was really
interesting though was how he redefined
the economy and the next phase so this
is going to take a little bit of
thinking so follow along with this first
of all he said for like over two years
now that the econom is probably going to
have to grow below Trend those have
always been his words he's always been
saying we got to get the economy growing
growing below Trend and everybody's like
all right well the trend is 2% so what
you're saying is the economy needs to go
below Trend well today he actually
totally redefined this and this was like
yet another Drome Powell flip-flop it's
kind of like one day the jolts report
matters and then the jolts report
doesn't matter anymore one day you know
one survey matters and the next it
doesn't matter anymore you know it was
like just a few months ago he's
complaining about the employment cost
index and how we got to see that come
down today he's like ah it's pretty good
we're doing good on the ECI which was
actually surprising because just two
days ago when the ECI report came out
employment cost index the survey was 1%
came in at 1.1 and JP's like H that's
reaffirming the downward Trend we're
doing good here but going back to this
redefin he just came up with today I
feel like sometimes he just pulls this
stuff out of thin air but anyway now
he's saying well we're not actually
saying the economy has to go below 2%
growth what we're saying is we want the
economy to be below its potential growth
oh good lord okay so how do we
understand this well a simple way to
understand it is with numbers let's say
that right now in Q3 the econom is
growing at 4.9% let's say potential
growth for the economy for the next year
is
3% okay trend is 2% potential is 3% he's
saying well we just want the economy to
grow below that potential now which is
actually a doish thing to say and it's
probably why towards the end of this uh
event the NASDAQ started rallying
straight up basically that's probably
why because JP's really relaxing this
idea that oh yeah we've got a lot more
work to do on rate hikes I think we're
done I think by this redefin he's made
it pretty clear we don't need to keep
raising rates he's comfortable if things
continue the way they are inflation's
going to continue trending down it
already is trending down and he's
comfortable that we're on a good Trend
however he also expects it to be lumpy
you know I kind of think about it like
weight loss you know like you go
exercise a bunch and you're like why am
I not losing weight why am I not losing
weight and then all of a sudden it's
like you get on the scale and you're
like whoa all of a sudden I weigh 5 lbs
less you you know how like weird and
lumpy weight loss is you know it's not
like you're losing half a pound a day
and you're seeing that gradual
transition down that's actually what
makes weight loss hard and frustrating
because it's like you work out hard and
it's like it's not changing anyway that
lumpiness I think is what JP's conveying
here that look like we're doing good he
seemed very bullish about that actually
today dare I say doish like look hey
we're doing good man jobs are coming you
know into balance we've got inflation
coming down let's just stay on this
trend in expectations are good oil's not
skyrocketing because of the Middle East
Brent is at 8482 right now you realize
that's like the trend for the year it's
been a little below it's been a little
above but nothing basically no reaction
from Israel in oil prices right now
which that's historically what happens
when Israel has problems in the Middle
East and oil markets don't react too
much but people thought maybe this time
would be different so far it hasn't
proven to be the weird thing though that
he said is he said right now the
disinflation we're seeing is probably
the supply chain portion of the
disinflation he's worried that that
might not get us all the way to 2% that
we're actually going to have to see
labor markets softening to get the extra
like half% or the extra 75 basis points
to break us down to 2% that part I think
is a little bit of a risk but it's not
one I think we can really speculate on
now because it's so long away like let's
get this Supply chains 100% imbalance my
opinion is you probably don't actually
have to break the labor market that
Supply chains and capitalism and the
disinflation of how capitalistic markets
work will drive that disinflation down
to 2% without the need of breaking the
labor market I believe that's true
because of the decade prior to the
pandemic not just the decade prior but
really the past 40 Years of
opportunistic disinflation now J pal
made it clear though that while he
doesn't know that is a con concern of
his and the Committees that they are
going to have to do more in terms of
breaking the labor market to really get
the last bit of inflation down that last
bit of weight loss that last little bit
of starvation that to get to your goal
fortunately that's still a ways out
that's probably something we're going to
be discussing next year around this time
because we're still seeing the effects
of Supply chains in the labor market
coming into a balance where they're
actually leading these price declines or
the rate of increases to decline
remember we've had a lot of inflation
but that's not the concern here the
concern is the stability of prices and
bringing those price hikes back into
level and that's what we're seeing in
earnings calls and Company earnings
reports across Industries with the
exception of ski resorts and Aerospace
where you still have these supply chain
issues now when we look at uh our uh
bingo card this is what I got for Bingo
we talked a little bit about Congress
and a potential debt sealing crisis not
a lot we talked about the Middle East
talked about being open to Future rate
hikes though I don't really think that
is is a big thing uh or a big priority
the FED remember Jerome Powell opened
for the first at least what I think is
in the first time Jerome Powell opened
with we want maximum employment and
stable prices and he reiterated the
maximum employment thing two or three
times but really through some emphasis
on that maximum employment I think
they're really proud right now that they
have maximum employment jome calls it
historically significant that they're
not seeing the labor market roll over
yet and the fact that now if you couple
you know a strong labor market with the
fact that he's saying well we don't have
to be below Trend which is what he said
like 10 dozen times before now he's just
saying we just need to be below
potential that's insane okay that is
such a redefinition it is it's it's a
doish redefinition that's just the way
to look at it so we didn't get bingo at
least the way I saw it we didn't
obviously we get any kind of talk about
fate I put it in the corner because I
didn't think we were going to get that
anyway no Alan greenpan no Paul vulker
no Arthur Burns uh we didn't get the
willingness to cut without employment
going up because there was no talk
really about even talking about cutting
no iPad he was on time the recent
surgeon yields yes does some work for us
the tightening of financial conditions
yes does some work for us we did get
this below Trend growth discussion which
is what we've already discussed brief
mention there of the UAW uh no no real
talk though about that turning into wage
and doesn't really matter cuz we didn't
get Bingo anyway Goods disinflation
continuing we didn't get talk about that
we didn't get talk about housing
disinflation but we got hints that some
that that there was going to be some
pain coming to the housing market again
I think that's going to be a great
opportunity for house hack we're really
discriminatory with our deals right now
picking up on Fear and it's it's a great
opportunity like for example we just got
a house a model almost a model match to
a house that's sold next to a busy road
for
$817,000 we got it for six well 605 and
this is like crazy I mean how much money
is is in that spread uh and that's
insulation in the event Market it's
correct right it's great anyway uh uh
deflation we didn't mention deflation we
didn't mention disinflation Services
disinflation we just didn't have that
discussion today he was asked about a
pause he didn't use the word pause
didn't use the word soft Landing this
was a big deal he said they did not put
recession back in their forecast they
have little forecasts in the background
they didn't talk about recession being
back and that's again why I think you
know if a recession is going below this
zero level right here if that's a
recession and Trend growth is right here
2% and right now the economy is at
4.9% you know and maybe potential is
like 3% he wants us to be around here
which means we're not really knocking on
the door of recession as jpow says in
the short term or in the near term so
they're not seeing a recession and there
was definitely a time last year where
JP's like
yeah we might be going into recession
obviously we touched on banking banking
stability that was pretty basic we think
that fed term uh funding Bank term
funding program will last for a while uh
increase the supply of workers 25 to 54
big increase over here supporting uh
some of the easing in labor no pressure
on jolts having to Come Back in Balance
remember he's kind of flip-flopped on
that which is great we'll take it I love
the redefining of below potential
because it's bull it implies a less
hawkish fed going forward uh we also are
seeing treasury yields fall right now
what we should look at is the uh Fed
rate monitor just to see what the
December forecast is looking like my
guess it's going to go lower from a 25%
chance to lower the 10e is plummeting
right now could be a time for TMF look
at ticker TMF but this is not
personalized Financial advice for you uh
TMF should be doing uh well with an 11
basis point drop in the 10-year the two
years dropping 13 basis points when the
this is actually a ooh wait a second
when the 2year drops more than the 10
year and both are going down this is a
bull steepening yield curves right now
are telling you bullish steepening of
the yield curve you could Google that
one it's and it's it's a little
complicated and annoying and and and how
how it's all calculated and stuff but
once you once you know it it makes sense
but the bottom line of it is that's what
you want a a bull steep in you do not
want a bare steepening a bare steepening
is where you have less inversion but
it's because the 10e skyrocketing that's
what we just went through the last two
months of Hell in the stock market uh so
the bull steepening that's actually good
every meeting is basically going to be
live that's not a surprise uh that
they'll sort of decide meeting by
meeting what does the monitor say right
now the monitor for December uh it just
dropped from 25% chance of a rate hike
to 20% in January AR just dropped from a
32% chance of a rate actually 36% chance
of a rate hike all the way down to about
25
26.7% so you're definitely seeing a
compression there I think this is
extremely clear that the Federal Reserve
is at Peak unless some data comes in
like really crappy November 13th is when
we're going to get our next CPI report
but I really need you to mark your
calendar for this Friday obviously you
know today we have the expiration of the
house hack fund raise uh email us at IR
at house Haack if you have questions
ideally before 5 so we have time to
respond uh but anyway you've got I I'll
be up all night probably just responding
to emails and trying to help as well and
but uh this Friday you need to pay
attention we'll be covering this live
5:30 a.m. nonfarm payrolls okay payrolls
report we're expecting 3% increase in
month-over-month average hourly earnings
up from 0.2 in the last expect the
year-over-year to be 4% and the change
in nonform payrolls to be
180,000
uh again him thinking that uh we we will
need to see some kind of additional
disinflationary work from the jobs
Market is just going to mean higher for
longer unless Supply chains can do all
of the disinflation for us and no
recession back in the forecast the
housing warning was very very clear
today availability of goods and Autos
higher but durable good spending lower
surprise surprise those are like cars
and washing machines or solar panels or
whatever all those obviously just
wrecked right now uh some people say
stay the hell away from all of those
other people say it's a great time to be
buying those uh let's see here uh
looking at the yield curve is confusing
sometimes looking at some of your
commentary here AMD 108 AMD it just
shows you when you have a good earnings
report and then it goes down in after
hours in skyrockets the next day the
stock market is insane that thing's
almost up 10% right now I've got a
position in AMD in Nvidia uh let's see
here uh great thank you so much okay
